Fantastic story, thank you!

[TimeLord2]

That was my thinking too. Also called a Rolex coffin pyramid box. Like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305719992879

[repaircraftsvc]

Thank you E Bay no longer takes American Express so they are out and the one in Japan only takes Pay Pal so they are out.
Will keep looking.Sure wish I could remember what it looked like I think it was wood with flat top but not sure.

Now that I think about it, the watch probably did not come in a pyramid box. As it is full gold, the PM versions probably came in a nicer, larger box than the stainless or stainless and gold versions. Don't take my word for it though. Not an expert. There's one listed on H.Q. Milton here, perhaps it rings a bell for you: https://hqmilton.com/products/rolex-...concorde-hands

[repaircraftsvc]

Thank you. That is it. That is how my watch looked when I got it with leather strap and as I remember box with flat top.
Wounder what number is for that box. Now I can start looking for one.

Here is one I just found,it is a little different.
Now i need to fined one

[Jaegodylan]

you can still pay with AMEX if you add the AMEX card to your PayPal

Another interesting full set from 1969 with a Concorde watch. Although who knows if it wasn't just cobbled together as dealers often used what they had available or what the customer wanted. https://jewelry.ha.com/itm/timepiece...mbnail-071515#
You can see details if you "View Full Size" when you click on an image. That said, your watch probably came in the same wood box for a Daytona, like you have above. that other box I posted seems to be for a president Datejust. At least I think… Anyways, good luck!

[repaircraftsvc]

Now that green box fits my memory better. I have the same exact paper work guarantee book, instruction book and chronometer rating paper work. I don't have the calendar or tag any more and never had the wallet. Wish I could see top of box is it flat or pyramid my memory of box it was flat I could be wrong.
Now find a box for sale maybe with tag and calendar
You do good detective work finding all this good info.

I'm a sucker for finding hard to find things. This from my last search. Unfortunately already sold but looks exactly like the box from the other site and you can see the reference number on the bottom of the box 62.00.01. This: https://www.chrono-shop.net/en/a-r-c...-nice-set.html
And here on EBAY with what looks like an anniversary sticker on the top: https://www.ebay.com/itm/315506795398
And one without https://www.ebay.com/itm/314899744904

[repaircraftsvc]

I saw on in one of the site 68.00.55 looks best to my memory .
I don't remember any white and don't remember it having an outbox but it may have had one
The ones in Japan only take Pay-Pal and E bay dose not take AX any more so it make it hard to pay some places. I only use American Express because I have been taken on line.
Thanks keep looking

[repaircraftsvc]

Well it looks like 68.00.55 is NOT it. That Box look like it is from the 1980s or so

[TimeLord2]

Definitely looks like it has the same gold accents but different placement of the cornet on the top. Not that we could see the top on that other set. Might be it. The top also does not have the chamfered corners on top like the other examples I sent you, so I do think you are on to something here. Perhaps @Springer will chime in on this one as he is the resident Guru IMHO on all things GMT Master. You also might try contacting Jacek at Tropical watch as it does seem like he has a lot of experience with vintage GMTs and a few Concordes. He is a member on this forum and you could Message him directly through TRF. Here is one of his listings: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...light=concorde That said I do think the box in that image is for a president Datejust, not a GMT Master 1675/8. Although, it does look good in that box. This one has just the papers: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...light=concorde

[repaircraftsvc]

Here is my paper work looks just the ones with that one box.
Well i guess just wait and see if anyone comes up with the correct box for sure then see if we can find one to buy.
It's getting harder to cowboy up at 89 and my health is getting worst every time I see a Dr so not spending as much time looking
Found this don't know if it is correct.
Rare vintage N.O.S Rolex Collectible 60's green strip watch box 68.00.1 Submariner 5513 1680 6265 5512 1675 6542.

[repaircraftsvc]

look at thus one .

[repaircraftsvc]

Well I guess I will have to give up on finding a box for my 1969 GMT
Master Concorde ref 1675.
Right now I think the box might be a 06.00.06 BUT can not prove it and I guess no one has their original box with the watch to show me.

You might try just posting a new thread in the Vintage section specifically asking about the box. Something like "Presentation box for gold 1969 GMT Master 1675/8 Concorde? Anybody?". Then include an image of your watch and a few of the potential candidates you found. Another set here: https://www.watchprosite.com/collect...9286.10381091/

[TimeLord2]

There was no designation for the 1675 in solid gold initially. I have a 1675 in gold and stainless which becomes a 16753 once the next reference 16750 comes out around 1979 with the updated movement. I think collectors differentiated the older 1675 reference with the /3 for stainless and /8 for solid gold like your watch but it was never really part of the actual reference number. Yours is still just considered a 1675. At least that is my understanding…

I did find this in the TRF archive regarding box numbers. Perhaps it needs to be added to or can give you some boxes to rule out based on year or the actual reference that is applied to that box. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=74592. From that list it looks like the 06.00.06 is for a DateJust and a Daytona reference. The Daytona 6263 was released around 1963 and was in production until early 70s, so that box could be the one as I think the sports models were packaged in the same box. Although, again, not sure if the precious metal (PM) references came in a slightly larger box or not.

6263 Aug-82 06.00.06
6694 xx/1971 06.00.06

Here is one with the watch holder on EBAY: https://www.ebay.com/itm/22586479209
Could be it, as I read somewhere the GMTs of year range are supposed to have the green faux leather box with beige interior.

[repaircraftsvc]

Here I am at Air America reunion in Reno NV in 2005 wearing my
Rolex GMT Master Concorde watch and gold bracelet. Drinking beer with the late night folks.

[repaircraftsvc]

I keep looking at the 06.00.06 it seems to fit my watch time period but I see lot of variances of it so which one?

I think that may be the one too. This is the link I tried to post earlier. Also a 06.00.06 but with a beige interior. This one is not in the best of shape on the interior. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225864792098

[repaircraftsvc]

Yes i think that is the right one

[TimeLord2]

Turns out the number is 54.00.3 and I do think this is the right box as it is a big box. Here is another but unfortunately not complete. I think it is going to be a little hard to find one of these in good condition. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226299154798

[repaircraftsvc]

Here is another box with a GMT Master watch in it.
NOTE this early watch NO crown guards.Has Concorde hands.
Shot with my camera.
Paper work looks same as mine

[TimeLord2]

If only we could live forever young. At least you still have a sense of humor!

[repaircraftsvc]

Living on old memories.

[repaircraftsvc]

Still need presentation Box 54.00.3 for my 1969 GMT Master Concorde watch that has watch holder in it. photos below is what I am looking for.
I hope someone has one for sale with watch holder or knows where one is to buy.


Thank you
